I couldn't pass this up for $4 at a junk shop. I've got a bunch of old Tama Techstar drum synths and a Syndrum, but I don't think this cable is going to magically shoot 5 volts into the machine to trigger them. Has anyone experimented with cables like these? The emergency phones in elevators use 1/4" jacks, for example.

i'd put a meter across the plug and see what happens, it may require a custom socket, im guessing that the plug shorts when you press the button, kinda a switch extenstion lead you could easily make a drum trigger if this is the case.__________________Richard_

Yeah,
By the looks of it, it has to be low voltage, most likely switch extender. It's probably just line level lead. One conductor with a shield. Perfect piezo pickup lead to get a gate off a snare._________________What makes a space ours, is what we put there, and what we do there.
